Electric Bike Laws in Australia
Are you aware of how the law was set in relation to electric bikes in Australia? Rumour has it that an elite cyclist advised this limit after riding one and considering it potentially dangerous! We'd like to see them limit CARS to 200watts!
Until earlier this year, it was legal to ride a petrol-motor bike up to 1 horsepower (746watts), along with its awful noise and GHG emissions. Americans can legally ride electric bikes up to this limit too, lucky them!
Yet the electric bike lobby in Australia still haven't got anywhere with trying to raise the limit, at least to the EU standard 250w.. Despite our governments' apparent commitment to a reduction in Greenhouse Gases.
This severely limits the options for e-bikers here in Oz, as many bikes and motors are made to suit the EU specs. Many of the bikes sold are actually likely to be slightly over the legal limit, as it's very hard to be exact with their output, factoring in efficiency losses and such things.
And given its pretty difficult for the authorities to test the output of electric bikes, what's stopping us from 'interpreting' the law as we see fit?
What are your thoughts?
